Anoshss Omaha Boy WIN. . pr,.s.

Oscar Groshell, a salesman in Rich
ardson's wholesale drug house who
was the lucky holder of ticket No.
46 $50 which drew onc-tenth, 1900,
of the 10000 capital prize in the
drawing Of The Louisiana State Lot
terry on the 9th ult., was called upon
by a representative Of the Bee to whom
he said that he had held tickets IN the
lottery since last January and drew q
prize at each drawing. The first time
he got -; tho second, $50; the next
&16, then $40 and the last before this
time Is.
He says that no is not alone in tho
tickets, but that tho young men Of the
house have formed q syndicate and
have invested $50 in tickets this
month. One thing strange about our
last drawing was that a young man
clerkfng in q drug house in Shelton
sent me s. to be invested with our
money. Along with the money came
the note, that he hoped it would win as
he wanted to take another course of
lectures in a medical college but did
not have money enough. I invested
for him and he got 900 out of the prize
and is now in q Chicago medical coll
lege taking his course.-Omaha (Neb.)

Interesting to Champagne Drinkers,


st. Louis Republican: Champagne
8 not stored in the London dock vaults
but on the upper floor of the dock
warehouses. Tho Russians, who used
to rival the United States in champagne
drinking, nc fast giving up that vino
and bctaking themselves to port.
There was not more than half a MILL
ion bottles of champagne taken in Rus
STA last year. The English cannot I'M
dcrstand the taste of Americans for
new champagne. Tho impression APP
pears to prevail in the United States
that champagne deteriora,ts after it is
three or four years old, and it is said
this impression, for reasons of their
own, has been fostcred by the trade in
that country. The English and French
laugh at this. They do not touch
champagne until it is ut least seven of
eight years old, and a large dealer who
was looking ut some of his stock in the
warehouse said he had champagne of
the vintage of 1868, which was much
sought after.

ancc, the pastor a half inclined to
omit the courtesy due brother preach
er, of asking him to deliver a sermon.
Ii he inquired of the bishop as to his
name he must have failed TO catch 1t,
for he certainly had no idea to whom
he was speaking. His request for the
stranger I, preach was therefore ex.
pressed in the most formal and con.
strained manner Tie stranger readi-
ly agreed to fill tho pulpit, and the
pastors chagrin was evident as he
resigned himself to his fate. Tho
bishop preached one of his powerful
sermons. and everybody in the audi
cncc whispered to his ncighbor, "whe
is hep" Before lie had taken his sea,
the pastor had him by the hand.
"What did you say your name wasp
"Simpson."
.wha.l Not the Bishopp"
s.That is what they call me-"
The minister Instantly jumped to hi
feet and shouted:
"You have Just had the privilege o
listening to Bishop Simpson. Let u
sing, sPraise God from whom all bless
ings tiow.'"

Paris Letter to London Truth: Fash.
ion has long been favorable TO dogs.
Cats arc now coming forward. Some
charming bellies at Luchon thought this
season of using the Pyrenean cat
which Is o pretty creature, and net so
wild as 1t looks-as asu:vea-moi, jeunc
homme. The notion sprang up in this
way. A beauty down there was given,
in ono of her excursions, a! lovely cat.
But, as her arms were laden with
mountain flowers. how to carry itf A
peasant suggested cuttinga hole at one
of the ends Of q hand.basket for needle
work, Just large enough for the cats
neck 10 be held in without strangula-
ton when the lid was fastened down.
AS tho basket was padded and lined
with satin. and bedixencd with fringe
and ribbons, pussy did not object to
being a prisoner therein, and to being
placed ON the lady's hustle as a pack.
There was no other means Of carrying
the feline unless there. So the basket
was fitted up with strings to tie on to
the waist, and SO borne into Luchon.
The arrangement was daring, original.
and piquant. 1t found imitators, and
in q few DAYS there were rot Pyrenean
cats enough for thu ladies' bus.les.
Fashion even dared to invade the sanct-
uary at Lourdes with a mountain tom
or tabby on the dofsal hump.
A fashion prophet tells me, that next
winter the back part of the muff will
contain u pouch in which a cat is to lie
A continuance of this sort was first hit
upon by Mile. Schneider for her black
aud-tan terrier, which regarded the in
side of the muff rs Il prison and wanted
10 look about while keeping the hands
of his mistress warm. Tho dutchcss
de Eanfhmmont then took up the are
r%angencut and used to carry about at
many puppies as could fit into the
pouch. Princess 1sabeau dc Bcauvair
Craon used to remind me of maternal
kangaroo. Her muff had the pocket
in front and u parcel of pups hesds of
various breeds peeped from out the
opening ut the top.
